If you love curling up with a good book when you hear the rain-soaked rumble of thunder, designer Richard Clarkson's inventive pendant lamp, Cloud, will certainly charm you.

Designed to emulate the sounds of a lightning storm by responding to your movement (and play your favorite music, via bluetooth), this powder puff fixture is as quirky as it is technologically advanced. Plus, can you think of a better conversation piece for the empty living room corner you can't figure out how to fill?

At $3,360, the Cloud comes with a not-so fluffy price tag (though, you can get a version of the lamp that doesn't play music for a mere $960). But if you can't afford to outfit your reading nook with one, this soothing video demonstration is a close second.
